10,000 Maniacs

This just in: old-school alt-rockers 10,000 Maniacs have postponed their winter tour, which was due to visit our area on Friday, Feb. 1 with a show at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park.

Singer/songwriter Pegi Young (the super-talented wife of rock icon Neil Young) and Toms River-based art rock collective Elevator Art were scheduled to open the show. Elevator Art and Justin Lerner will now be playing the Pony on Feb. 1, and all Ticketmaster tickets to the 10,000 Maniacs show will get you free admission to that gig, according to the Stone Pony’s website.

10,000 Maniacs were forced to postpone their tour due to guitarist Jeff Erickson needing emergency back surgery, the band’s manager, Gehrig Peterson, told the Asbury Park Press. The band’s new record will be released on Feb. 26 and the band is hoping to reschedule the tour for some time this spring, Peterson said.
